Anyone else seeing this? It's blank and drops down a second or do after the page loads.  It's incredibly annoying as it prevents me from accessing my notifications on my mobile device.

I have the same white bar at the top, it is an advertising area but it does not obscure anything in EDGE.

It's very annoying on mobile Chrome. I can see that I have messages but cannot click on them because it is hidden.

@Ray Proudfoot can you say who was responsible for the introduction of the white bar please? There are NO ads on it so its value is zero, yet it is a real PITA for mobile devices.  It is only on avsim so must be specific to these pages.

Can it be removed please?

I don’t know anymore than you Kev. Suggest you install Ad Blocker Plus which removes all ads.

Ad Blocker Plus I have. That's why it's just white. It still affects the use of the site.

I use it on an iPad. Can't speak for other OSs, sorry.

Finally a thread that hasn't been closed! I refuse to use AdBlock Plus on my phone as I need to use Chrome for work purposes, so that answer (and subsequent thread closure) is no good to me. The "white bar" that comes across the top was never always there, it appeared sometime last month I believe. This is something that needs attention in the Forum/Web design of AVSim to prevent that from happening.

So instead of advising everyone to use a program that is not practical, please pay attention to the actual problem and fix it please, thank you.

P.S. I fully understand the need for Ads to help the site survive and I'm fine with that, but the intrusion has gotten especially bad in recent months, no other Forum I frequent (and I visit many...) suffers from any of the issues this site has when Ads are visible.

I completely am getting in this barn wagon. There should be testing when introducing ads that won’t affect the user experience. This is now affecting the user experience to the point that it makes me want to stop using the forum. 
 

Devs/Mods please fix this.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
